No one knows what’s in store for tomorrow, and tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. What is guaranteed, at least for the foreseeable future, is Lotto Texas and Powerball showing up in the middle of the week to tantalize players with the idea of winning millions. However, these lotteries have taken more to taunting as of late.
Lotto Texas had no intention of having the jackpot reset. By the grace of a Pattern encore, the jackpot grew to a hearty $17.25 million. Meanwhile, Powerball kept a level head and pushed the jackpot to $186 million.
